Businessman, 65, is exiled to the Russian colony for seven years after filming and selling child pornography

An older businessman has been sentenced to seven and a half years in exile in Russia for filming and selling pornography with dozens of minor children, DailyMail.com has learned.

David Lang, 65, a & # 39; respected & # 39; New York business consultant and English teacher ran his sinister illegal film studio in Chelyabinsk, a city about two hours north of Kazakhstan, for nine years before being taken into custody.

The court saw graphic films and photos in which he showed that he sexually abused his victims, since Lang also subjected a minor teenage girl to repeated sexual abuse.

The police identified more than 50 children – including many under 14 – who were victims of his abuse, a court found. He was sentenced to serve his time in a penal colony.

He was found guilty of & # 39; sexual intercourse and other sexual acts with a person who has not yet reached the age of 16 & # 39;

Lang worked with a Russian accomplice named Ekaterina Yasina, a single mother who acted as his interpreter, who found the girls Lang used in his films.

She also did their hair and made good photo shoots.

Yasina – who hid her face in the hood of her coat – was given a three-year suspended sentence because she is the mother of a minor child.

Lang was sentenced in a closed-door trial and then appealed the judgment, but his plea was rejected this week.

He sent child pornography on CD discs to the US by express courier and the money earned went to his US bank account, according to his officials.
